The father of James Bulger wept as he begged for one of his killers to be kept in prison.

Ralph Bulger’s son was two when he was abducted from a shopping centre in Merseyside by Jon Venables, who has a parole hearing in November, and Robert Thompson on February 12 1993 before the pair killed the toddler.

Speaking to TalkTV in an interview released on Monday, 2 October, Mr Bulger tearfully appealed to parole officers to keep Venables behind bars, describing how his son’s murder 30 years ago has “destroyed” him.
